Sister Carrie

The debut novel of Theodore Dreiser. For world literature, it became one of the symbols of American realism: with genuine plausibility, the author describes the life of a provincial actress seeking happiness in the big city of Chicago…
Critics in the... early 20th century received Dreiser's first works coolly, even hostilely, and the publication of "Sister Carrie" was accompanied by such difficulties that it led its creator into a heavy depression. But the further fate of the novel turned out to be happy: it was translated into many foreign languages and reprinted in millions of copies. New generations of readers eagerly immerse themselves in the twists and turns of the fate of Caroline Meeber.
